The nuances of this situation is that the yield curve hasn't been this inverted in 40 years, and successfully indicated every actual recession in that time. Like I said to the other user, you should click through to the link. There&#x2

Car crashes are also identified after the fact. Doesn't make it unreasonable to declare one when you first notice your wheels have lost traction on the ice. https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/T10Y2YM

As every desperate youtuber knows, the best way to get engagement is to ask for it, and to ask specifically. If you want more comments, try adding a question for users to answer into each post (and then, once you get some cash, integrate a

That's remarkable. I wonder if there could be a market for a device actually built with doing this in mind? Or at least a "recycling" service provided by a manufacturer that buys back the drive to put the old wine into a new

Wow, so that's what did it. That's absurd. You know, sometimes I regret looking too deeply into the firmware and hardware side of development. Makes me wonder if I'm not also sitting atop a ticking time bomb I haven't pr

Off-topic, but I dislike chess and adore chess960/fischerrandom chess for essentially this reason. It's almost disheartening enough to want a different hobby when you review an online game and realize what you thought was a clever

Rome had a conception of statistics? That's very interesting. I'd always been told that it was a relatively new science coming from french aristocracy gambling or something.

A massive proportion of all titles were this way. Take a look at fictional novels or political pamphlets some time. They're just three sentence long summaries and they're all delightful.
